Whether you’re already committed to the whole cellphone Android thing or only bi-curious, NTT DoCoMo has just provided another opportunity to savor the open-source phone OS with the April arrival of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 handset.
The smartphone will need to be better put-together than the ghastly Android model DoCoMo attempted to sell last year, and early reports from other markets say it could be a contender.
The Android OS teams up with an 8-megapixel camera, predictive text in two languages (at last!) and integration with all manner of online goodies from Twitter to Facebook and Mixi. The Xperia’s success will likely depend on how effective the Big D marketing machine manages to be, but we can see it at least making waves with the geekier set.
